Bermuda is making it easier to escape to paradise with its annual Pink Sale that has up to 40 percent off stays in 2025.
The sale, which must be booked by Jan. 31, 2025, is available to use at some of the best resorts across the island, the Bermuda Tourism Authority shared with Travel + Leisure. The sale is valid on any trip planned in the new year, but hotel savings vary by location.
“The best part of our island is that every day offers a unique experience, so there’s no single ‘perfect time’ to visit Bermuda,” Jamari A. Douglas, the vice president, marketing, PR, and communications at the Bermuda Tourism Authority, said in a statement shared with T+L. «That’s what makes each of our sales so special, especially during this season of love, gratitude and giving. The Pink Sale offers everyone – from families to couples, solo vacationers and more – the freedom to save on a trip at any point in the year. Even for those who’ve been to Bermuda before, there are always new activities, hidden gems, and festivals waiting to be discovered.”
Travelers can save 40 percent off stays at the Willowbank Resort and 35 percent off stays at the Newstead Belmont Hills Golf Resort & Spa. Or enjoy luxury for less at the Rosewood Bermuda, which is offering up to 30 percent off. While there, travelers will be treated to the property’s private pink-sand beach, weekly golf and tennis clinics, complimentary water sports equipment, and more.
Travelers can also save up to 30 percent off a stay at Cambridge Beaches, which features charmingly-decorated rooms and cottages spread across 23 acres complete with four private beaches and two private coves. Or save up to 25 percent off stays at The Loren at Pink Beach, which boasts a modern design aesthetic, a Sisley spa, and an oceanfront pool that practically spills onto the pink sand beach and turquoise water beyond.
Bermuda is a 21-square-mile British territory that sits just off the coast of North Carolina. Theisland’s picture-perfect pink sand beaches and gorgeous water are amazing all year round, but travelers hoping for endless sunbathing should consider visiting from May to October when the weather is warmer.
